Question:
How can art graduates develop their careers in the Internet age.
Action:
Unfamous is one of the reasons why it is hard for those students to support themselves by their talent. Sometimes people are likely to buy an artwork not because they like it but because of the creator’s reputation. To confirm this, I conducted an experiment. I shared three different paintings with a few friends and told them two of them were from a master, and one was from a student. Most of them think master’s works are better than student. But the truth is those two master’s works were created by animals, while the student’s work was created by Picasso.
Based on this, if audiences know the artwork’s creator in advance, it will influence their judgment. In this internet age, it is an excellent chance for creative people to share their talent with the public, but almost all the platforms and social media that deal with artworks cannot be anonymous. So, my potential change is that I can create an anonymous platform or a free magazine to help talented people sell their artworks.
